BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The inventive concept relates to a semiconductor integration circuit device, and more particularly, to a semiconductor device having three-dimensional' (3D) lateral channel and a method of manufacturing the same.

2. Related Art

With the rapid development of mobile and digital information communication and consumer electronic industry, studies on existing electronic charge controlled devices may encounter limitations. Thus, new functional memory devices of novel concepts other than the existing electronic charge devices need to be developed. In particular, next generation memory devices with large capacity, ultra-high speed, and ultra-low power need to be developed.

Currently, resistance variable memory devices using a resistance device as a memory medium have been suggested as the next generation memory devices. Typical examples of resistive variable memory devices are phase-change random access memories (PCRAMs), resistance RAMs (ReRAMs), and magentoresistive RAMs (MRAMs).

Each of the resistance variable memory devices may be basically formed of a switching device and a resistance device and store data “0” or “1” according to a state of the resistance device.

Even in the resistive variable memory devices, the first priority is to improve integration density and to integrate as many memory cells as possible in a limited small area.

Currently, methods of forming the resistance variable memory devices in 3D structures are suggested, and demands on methods of stably stacking a plurality of memory cells with a narrow critical dimension are growing.

As a manufacturing method of a typical 3D structure resistance variable memory device, there is a method of manufacturing a switching device using a vertical pillar. However, the method of manufacturing a switching device using the vertical pillar may have a concern in that a fabrication process of the switching device is complex, and an aspect ratio is increased due to a height of the vertical pillar, and thus the semiconductor device is structurally unstable. 3D lateral channel structure is suggested. The 3D lateral channel structure is a structure in which an active region having a lateral channel (a lateral fin structure or a lateral channel region) in a 3D structure is formed on a semiconductor substrate unlike an existing buried type. In this 3D lateral channel semiconductor device, in general, the lateral fin structure is electrically coupled to the semiconductor substrate through a common source node.

However, a manufacturing process of the 3D lateral channel semiconductor device may include a process of aligning a channel of the active region with the common source node, and a process of aligning a gate (a word line) with the channel of the active region. Therefore, a process defect such as misalignment may occur in the manufactur g process.

However, embodiments of the inventive concept should not be limited construed as limited to the inventive concept. Although a few embodiments of the inventive concept will be shown and described, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that changes may be made in these exemplary embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the inventive concept.

In the embodiment, a resistance variable memory device among semiconductor devices will be described as an example.

Referring to FIGS. 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A, a first semiconductor layer 105 and a second semiconductor layer 110 may be sequentially formed on a semiconductor substrate 100. The first semiconductor layer 105 and the second semiconductor layer 110 may be formed of materials having etching selectivities and oxidation rates different from each other. The first semiconductor layer 105 may be a layer for defining a common source node in a subsequent process, and may include, for example, a silicon germanium (SiGe) layer. The second semiconductor layer 110 may be a layer in which a junction region and a channel region are to be formed, and formed thicker than the first semiconductor layer 105. The first and second semiconductor layers 105 and 110 may be formed through an epitaxial growth method to have a perfect crystalline state. The second and first semiconductor layers 110 and 105 may be patterned in a fin shape to form a plurality of active lines F. Further, in FIG. 1A, GT_P may denote a gate formation region, and DGT_P may be a dummy gate formation region. A plurality of gate formation regions GT_P may extend to be parallel to each other, and may be arranged substantially to be perpendicular to the active lines F. Further, one dummy gate formation region DGT_P may be formed in an interval of every two gate formation regions GT_P to substantially separate cells. In FIG. 1A, PS may denote a common source node formation region.

Referring to FIGS. 1B, 2B, 3B, and 4B, a dummy layer may be formed on the semiconductor substrate in which the active line F is formed. The dummy layer may be patterned to be located in a line shape between the gate formation regions GT_P and between the gate formation region GT_P and the dummy gate formation region DGT_P to form a dummy pattern 120 having a line shape. The dummy pattern 120 may be formed of a conductive layer, for example, a polysilicon layer.

Before the dummy pattern 120 is formed, a source region S and a drain region D may be alternately formed in portions of the second semiconductor layer 110 corresponding to dummy patterns 120. The process of forming the source and drain regions S and D may be performed after a mask is formed on the gate formation region GT_P and the dummy gate formation region DGT_P.

An oxidation process may be performed on the exposed semiconductor substrate 100 to form first and second insulating layers 115 and 117 between the process of forming the source and drain regions S and D and the process of forming the dummy pattern 120. The first insulating layer 115 may be obtained by oxidizing the first semiconductor layer 105. The oxidation of the first semiconductor layer 105 may be performed by supplying oxygen through an exposed side of the semiconductor layer 105. Further, the second insulating layer 117 may be obtained by oxidizing surfaces of the semiconductor substrate 100 and the second semiconductor layer 110. For example, the first semiconductor layer 105 may be formed of a SiGe material, and the second semiconductor layer 110 and the semiconductor substrate 100 may be formed of a silicon (Si) material. In this case, since the SiGe material has an oxidation rate greater than that of the Si material, the second insulating layer 117 that is thinner than the first insulating layer 115 may be formed on the second semiconductor layer 110 and the semiconductor substrate 100, while the first semiconductor layer 105 is entirely oxidized to form the first insulating layer 115. Further, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, the second insulating layer 117 may be formed on an entire surface of the second semiconductor layer 110.

The process of forming the source and drain regions S and D and the process of forming the first and second insulating layers may be interchangeably performed.

Referring to FIGS. 1C, 2C, 3C, and 4C, an oxide layer 125 may be formed on an exposed surface of the dummy pattern 120. Next, a gate conductive layer is formed in the gate formation region GT_P and the dummy gate formation region DGT_P. The gate conductive layer may include a metal material, for example, one or more materials selected from the group consisting of tungsten (W), copper (Cu), titanium nitride (TiN), tantalum nitride (TaN), tungsten nitride (WN), molybdenum nitride (MoN), niobium nitride (NbN), titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN), titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN), titanium boron nitride (TiBN), zirconium silicon nitride (ZrSiN), tungsten silicon nitride (WSiN), tungsten boron nitride (WBN), zirconium aluminum nitride (ZrAlN), molybdenum silicon nitride (MoSiN), molybdenum aluminum nitride (MoAlN), tantalum silicon nitride (TaSiN), tantalum aluminum nitride (TaAlN), titanium (Ti), molybdenum (Mo), tantalum (Ta), titanium silicide (TiSi), tantalum silicide (TaSi), titanium tungsten (TiW), titanium oxynitride (TiON) titanium aluminum oxynitride (TiAlON), tungsten oxynitride (WON) and tantalum oxynitride (TaON). The gate conductive layer may be etched back to be left in a bottom of each of the gate formation region GT_P and the dummy gate formation region DGT_P, and thus a gate electrode 130 may be formed. At this time, gate electrodes 130 may be insulated from each other by the dummy pattern 120 and the oxide layer 125. A hard mask layer 135 may be formed on the gate electrode 130. The hard mask layer 135 may be formed to be buried in each of the gate formation region GT_P and the dummy gate formation region DGT_P.

Referring to FIGS. 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D a dummy pattern 120 located on the common source node formation region PS may be selectively removed to form a source hole H. The process of forming the source hole H may use a mask process. The process of forming the source hole H may include an over etching process. A surface of the source region S may be partially etched through the over etching process. FIG. 4D illustrates a portion cut along the source hole H.

Referring to FIGS. 1E 2E, 3E, and 4E, a dummy pattern 120 on the active line F, that is, a dummy pattern on the drain region D may be selectively removed, and then the second insulating layer 117 on the drain region D may be selectively removed

A conductive layer may be buried in the source hole H and in a space from which the dummy pattern on the drain region D is removed. The conductive layer may include a doped polysilicon layer. The buried conductive layer may be recessed by a predetermined thickness to form a common source node 140 on the source region S and a heating electrode 145 on the drain region D. Through the recess process, variable resistor regions may be formed on the common source node 140 and the heating electrode 145.

The common source node 140 may be formed in a line shape parallel to the gate electrode 130 since the common source node 140 is formed in the source hole H. Therefore, the common source node 140 may be in contact with the source region S on the active line F, and the semiconductor substrate 100 in a space between the active lines F.

An insulating layer 150 for a spacer may be deposited on the semiconductor substrate in which the common source node 140 and the heating electrode 145 are formed. A mask pattern (not shown) may be formed to shield the insulating layer 150 for a spacer on the common source node 140. Subsequently, the exposed insulating layer 150 for a spacer on the heating electrode 145 may be etched using a general spacer etching process, for example, an anisotropical etching process to form a spacer 155 on a sidewall of a variable resistor region on the heating electrode 145.

The heating electrode 145 may be exposed by the spacer 155, and the common source node 140 may be shielded by the insulating layer 150 for a spacer. Next, the mask pattern may be removed through a general process.

A resistance variable material layer 160 may be formed to be buried in the variable resistor regions. As the resistance variable material layer 160 may include a PCMO layer for a ReRAM, a chalcogenide layer for a PCRAM, a magnetic layer for a MRAM a o magnetization reversal device layer for a spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive RAM (STTMRAM), or a polymer layer for a polymer RAM (PoRAM). The resistance variable material layer 160 may be, electrically coupled to the heating electrode 145 and electrically isolated from the common source node 140.

Subsequently, although not shown, a bit line may be formed on the resistance variable material layer 160. The bit line may be formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to an extending direction of the gate electrode 130.

According to the embodiment, since the common source node 140 is formed in a line shape between the gate electrodes 130, a separate alignment process and a complex oxidation control process are not necessary. Further, since the common source node 140 is formed in such a manner that the common source node 140 of the source region S is located on the source region S, and the common source node 140 in the space between the active lines F is in contact with the semiconductor substrate 100, current may be stably provided to the semiconductor substrate 100 through the common source node 140. Therefore, the lateral channel transistor in which the common source node and the gate are formed in a self-aligned manner may be completed.

Referring to FIG. 5, in a semiconductor device according to the embodiment, a first insulating layer 115 and an active line F, in which a source region (not shown) and a drain region D are formed, are formed on a semiconductor substrate 100.

A gate electrode 130 may be arranged substantially to be perpendicular to the active line on F between the source region and the drain region D, and a common source node 140 may be formed between gate electrodes 130 to be in contact with the source region.

A heating electrode 145 may be formed on the drain region D, and a resistance variable material layer 160 may be formed to be electrically in contact with the heating electrode 145 and to be insulated from the common source node 140.

The semiconductor device having a 3D lateral channel according to the embodiment may include a line-shaped common source node transversally or longitudinally crossing an active line. Since the line-shaped common source node is formed without a complicated alignment process and a process of partially oxidizing a first semiconductor layer in a lower portion of the active line, a process error may be reduced. Further, an aspect ratio of the semiconductor device can be lowered using the lateral channel structure, and electrical interaction characteristics may be improved since a current discharge area is also increased according to change to the line-shaped common source node from a common source node of an existing pattern structure. With this line-shaped common source node, current may be stably provided to a semiconductor substrate, and a structural concern such as leaning may also be alleviated.

Further, a gate electrode may be formed using a metal layer, and thus conduction characteristics of the gate electrode may be improved.
